Too late for this to be of help with your Chamber meeting, but it would be helpful to establish published, detailed, explicit sanitizing measures that are taken very seriously between occupants of hotel rooms and taxis. I have no idea how anyone could go about checking on things, but if I was a resort owner I would like to be able to say "We follow the published guidelines" and even "We have taxis available at the resort that we confirm follow the published guidelines". Personally, if I was offered the choice between "Do you want a taxi for the usual $5. or a certified taxi for $20." I would choose the latter.

This is already being done. A draft proposal went out about 10 days ago and guidelines are being finalized. The taxi point is interesting. Under the new guidelines, ALL legal taxis with red plates will carry the same certification and have to follow the same rules for explicit sanitation. Illegal (robot) taxis, white plate vehicles, should have never been taken or recommended and now this is all the more reason to only use legal red plate taxis.
